Throughout history, numerous individuals have professed to follow Jesus, but diverse perspectives on his identity have emerged. While some regard him as a mere prophet, others view him as a mere mortal, and some assert he is God incarnate. Does the ambiguity surrounding Jesus' identity in scripture truly exist, or have people deliberately overlooked or distorted what scripture explicitly communicates? Does the bible clearly state that Jesus is God?

Why did Jesus spend time talking to the Samaritan woman at the well?  When you think about it she was from a people who found hostility toward the Jews (which Jesus was).  What purpose is there in interacting with those who hate you and despise your beliefs? This very question is answered in the person of Jesus.

Jesus encounters the Woman at the well who expresses a desire for "living water." However, a disconnect arises as she interprets this water in a literal sense, while Jesus offers something profoundly greater. He poses a question that not only reveals her personal shortcomings but also exposes the broader sins of her community. Let's delve into the profound significance of this question, often overshadowed, and explore the transformative impact it is poised to have on the woman and her community.

John the Baptist's role was to proclaim the arrival of the Messiah. However, when the Messiah appears and surpasses John in accomplishing remarkable feats, it raises questions among John's followers about the purpose of his mission.

What happens when you are faced with something that goes against what you believe to be true? Do you rationally examine the evidence, or do you instantly reject it because you already believe it's false?  Our beliefs certainly can bring stability to our lives, but if we're not careful they can also stop us from accepting the reality that surrounds us.  Jesus knows this reality and challenges us to examine our beliefs in search of the truth.

Is a subjective religious experience enough evidence to prove that your faith is justified?  How does your subjective experience show your beliefs to be true to someone who has never had that experience?  The foundation for our faith should be built on more than just subjective experiences, it should be based on evidence that can be seen by all who wish to see it.  Jesus did not come commanding repentance and obedience with nothing to show for it, he performed many miracles to act as evidence for his divine authority.

Jesus calls himself the New Temple. This carries more than just a claim of superseding the old methods of atonement it implies a claim of divinity that no human could ever rightly make.  Unfortunately, this claim is hidden on a surface-level reading of the text, so join me in this episode as we dive into the original language that Jesus used to describe himself as the New Temple.

Jesus went into the temple and used a whip to drive out the animals and he flip the tables of those at work.  This scene has become popular to those who use it to support aggression towards injustice.  The question that we analyze in this episode is this: Why did Jesus flip tables and what outcome did he desire?

The first miracle of Jesus' ministry brings with it a theme of being unaware of Gods presence.  Jesus is met with empty jars and a wedding that has ran out of wine for its guests, but there is more to be discovered than what we see upon a first reading of Jesus' actions.

Would you ever respond to your mother by calling her "woman"?  Would you dare utter those words after she asks you for help?  For me the answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT! However, Jesus did, and unless we know the reason why we will fail to understand the importance of him doing so.  Join me as we answer the question, did Jesus insult his mother?

Many skeptics claim that the Bible is filled with contradictions.  If this claim is true then the inspiration of scripture is at stake since God's word would not be expected to contain lies or conflicting information.  One such claim is often levied against the Gospel of John which we will examine in this episode.

The baptism of Jesus mirrors elements in the story of Noah's Ark.  These similarities are so profound and intentional that the comparisons should not be overlooked.  What exactly does the baptism of Jesus mean for the world and what message is God sending with the following events?

Jesus the Messiah is called the "Lamb of God" and what exactly does that mean?  The symbolic nature of being the Lamb of God is filled with countless Old Testament imagery and practices that are crucial to understanding who Jesus is and what he does for the world.

What did baptism mean in ancient times and how does that play into the message of the Messiah?   We're told that John was baptizing people before Jesus arrived on the scene, however, the underlying meaning behind these baptisms would've directly challenged the religious systems at that time.

We go over Matthew Chapter 24 today, which in modern, especially American Protestantism, has become a very controversial text related to biblical discussions about “the end times”.

The longer I’ve gone on to learn more about the bible and how symbolism works and apocalyptic texts in Jewish writing, my understanding has really depended. That being said, they still remain controversial because of the symbolism.

Let's dive in together.

Matthew Chapters 11 and 12 are stories about people responding to what Jesus has been doing in chapters 4 -10. What we see here is one of the first notes of people’s rejection of Jesus by the Israelite contemporaries. So in this episode, we situate Jesus how he thought of himself in the tradition of the Hebrew Prophets. He gives warnings that are serious and significant, and they show us that Jesus was fully embedded in the religious controversies of first-century Israel in relation to the Roman empire.

Today’s particular teaching is about one of the few times that Jesus addresses the topic of sex and sexual desire. He uses a lot of intense language that has really stuck with Jesus’ followers for many thousands of years.

The goal is to get inside Jesus’ heart and mind about his vision of what sexuality is and what it is for.

Probably Jesus's relationship to the Torah isn't something that you woke up thinking about this morning, but it was actually a major major issue. The Torah represents not just the Bible, but the whole story and terms of the covenant that Israel used to relate to God.

Jesus came saying that the Kingdom of God had arrived through him and the work he was doing, but it was confusing to a lot of people so he addressed how he related to the story and the covenant that God made leading up to him. This is super important to learn about how Jesus talked about himself and what he was here to do.

In this section, we’re exploring Jesus’s most famous collection of teachings in Matthew chapters 5-7. Jesus is announcing to the Kingdom of God that way of life that he’s inviting his followers to join only makes sense WITHIN the announcement that God’s Kingdom has arrived through Jesus.

This teaching focuses on those famous little poetic sayings at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount called “The Beatitudes”. It makes reference to the types of people who are blessed, but what does that even mean? What would it mean for a Jewish prophet or rabbi to go around and announce that certain people are blessed? These are familiar words that can lose their power and sharpness from over-use, but we’ll explore more about these questions in this episode.
